The Governor of New Hampshire in his
inaugural address on Wednesday referred
to the effect of the withdrawal Of fifty eight
fire insurance companies from the State,
and declared that the new mutual compa-
MES formed by citizens we're all in good
standing. The Governor ought to have
known that on the 3lst ult. q prominent
mutual company-that of Sullivan County
which was organized less than two
years ago, gave notice that heavy losses
had compelled it to 60 out of business and
wind up its affairs. 1.-THE remaining mutual
companies shall stand the strain their sta
bility will be proof that they have been
conducted with rare wisdom and great
care. But it should not be forgotten that
the burden transferred to them will be-
come heavier as time goes on. The with
drawing outside companies still carry
risks in the State amounting to about S25.
100000. The policies covering these
risks will soon expire. and then the local
companies will have more work to do.

The Cedar Rapids Ia, Republican contains
the following mention of the Memorial Ora
ton OF Col CLARK, who was Adjutant of
Gen. b. F. Harris regiment, and was Assis
tant with Adjutant General Burnham when
he was killed at Fort Harrison:
"Col Clark Of our city, on Memorial day,
said some things which, coming from q
democrat of prominence in the State,
are significant of the general outburs,
against the spirit which has lately cropped
out, that of dshonoring INDECENT survivors of
the war for the union, and belittling the cause
for which they risked all they had to risk
their lives and all that to them made life
worth living. Said Colonel Clark: The ma
ton has not yet discharged the full measure
Of justice to which our sol 'iers are entitled
Speaking Of the opprobriOus epithets which
latterly haye been hurled at the soldier, he
said, no 'eplthet ever made nv blood boil
like the epithet, "pauper soldier" The
colonel then told the story of Maine soldier
who fought in a score or more Of the great
battles of the war. and thus in substance
concluded: ITO him and his the nations
faith was pledged. How has the pledge been
fulfilled The sequel is disgrace to the
nation and the nations history. He bought d
little home and struggled hard: As he toiled
death came and struck him down. His wife
and little child-oh, infamy and shame-went
forth among strangers, without succor from
the government he 80 long defended. Under
the laws no pension could be granted because
old santed John Wesley Pettengill went
through all he did and came home a well and

doubt not those two women, mother and
daughter. have gone forth to day to decorate
the soldiers grave. While there are such
cases all over the land. let not one of you
permit Decoration Day to go by without re

No penny should be taken off the
present tax on whiskey and tobacco SO
long as any tax, direcs or indirect, exists
on clothing, blankets, iron, steel and
other articles of universal use and neces-
sity. The raw materials which industry
uses in manufactures should be made
free, or as nearly SO as possible, and the
tax on all articles of general use should
be cut down as rapidly as may be done
without danger. The government has
no business to collect surplus. That,
it seems to us, is the long and the short
of the matter.

A SURE SIGN.

Men who have watched cities grow do
not hesitate to admit that new era has
set in for Salt Lake City. There is no
surer sign of the substantial growth of a
city, than the erection Of few really
handsome buildings. 1t is when busi-
ness houses and homes begin to appear
as monuments of beauty instead of four
plain walls roofed over, that a city's
permanent growth begins. 1t is by the
number of handsome buildings and not
by the amount of ground covered, that a
town of $4,000 inhabitants is distinguished
from town of 10000, and the sign is
one that seldom fails. Salt Lake already
covers about as much ground as it is likely
to do for years to come, and those
who are looking for growth need
not stand on the outskirts and
watch for houses to spring up in new
places. Our city occupies enough land
now, and what we want to see next is
the covering of this vast amount of real
estate with beautiful homes, handsome
hotels and fine business blocks. The
time has gone by when any sort of a
shell, so long as it was on Main street,
would bring a handsome rental, and
some of our property owners are begin
ming to realize this fact. Thus we See
to-day at least three or four conspicuous
public buildings now being reared, which
would be an honor to any town of this
size in the country, and these are the
first signs Of our solid growth. 1t is true
there are only few of them, but others
rae bound to follow, and the start
being made, no one need fear for the re-
suit. Ii Main street property owners
will not meet the demands of their pat
rons, there is plenty OF good land on
Second South street that can be utilized.
Observe the move that business has
taken in the direction of this last-named
street within the past ten years, and
then beware Of your shell build
hAbc. ~ was HUI 1UuR ago
when the Deseret Bank corner was
the recognized center of town
beyond the shadow of doubt. What
claim has it now to that distinction in op-
position to the Wasatch corner and what
has caused the change? Nothing more
nor less than the erection of better class
of buildings in this part of town. The
erection of the handsomer buildings now
in progress will be still greater stimulus
to ambitious owners, and we may expect
from now on to see buildings that are
handsome and substantial take the place
of Main street shanties, one by one, until.
our business blocks are attractive as well
as useful, and with our hotels, stand as
monuments of the city's prosperity.

vICTORIAS REIGN.

The successful reign of Queen Victoria,
which has just reached its fiftieth year,
has already been the longest of any, with
but four exceptions, since the Norman
conquest. Henry III reigned fifty-six
years; Edward III fifty years Elizabeth
fifty-six years; and George III sixty
years. Victoria has already reigned
longer than the average lifetime, and the
second generation of her subjects is far
advanced in life. She assembled the
throne when but girl in 1887, and has
ruled her nation with dignity and dis
tinction. The advancement of the Eng

HOPT MUST DIE.

After seven years of trials, sentences,
appeals and affirmed judgments Fred
Hopt, the murderer of young John
Turner, is condemned to die. His case
has been heard by the highest tribunal
in the land and from its decision there is
no appeal. The story of how Hopt won
the friendship of young Turner, induced
him to start on a journey, and then
brutally murdered him with an axe, has
been rehearsed so often that it is still
fresh in the public mind The further
particulars OF the capture of the criminal
by the father Of the murdered boy will
also be remembered. The case has been
tried four times in the Third District Court
of this Territory, and in each case has
been appealed to the Territorial Supreme
Court. The judgment has been the same
in every trial and it has in each case
been affirmed by the superior court
Finally it went to the Supreme Court of
the United States and about month ago
that tribunal confirmed the decision of
the Territorial courts.
This morning Hopt stood for the last
time before any earthly tribunal to re-
ceive final sentence. The Court set the
llth day OF August, next, as the date of
execution, and ere fifty more suns have
risen over the prison walls, Fred Hopt
will have paid the penalty of his
fearful crime. The murder was committed
on the Sd OF July, 1880, few days
less than seven years ago. Hopt has
been in confinement ever since, and the
hardship has told upon him. All the
bravado he exhibited upon his first trial
is gone and he now stands a contrite and,
no doubt, penitent man, awaiting the
execution of the sentence of a just law
His trials have been fair and he has had
enough of them to assure the public that
no mistake has been made. He has been
given the advantage of every possible
doubt, and still the black finger of
death points to him as guilty" and
the soul which has abused the sacred
privilege of life, must give up the earthly
body and retire to another world. The
long years of Imprisonment and anxiety
have been a fearful punishment, and
worse by far than a quickly executed
penalty, but still the example must De
SET, and other men must see that murder
cannot be committed in our midst with
out the retribution of an awful doom.
The death sentence is a touching sight,
but in all the court room this morning
there was no one less affected than the
prisoner himself. His confinement
seems to have hardened his feelings or
dulled his senses, and he listened to the
naming of his death day in the solemn
voice of the Court without moving mus
Gle. His face, however, tells tale, from
which painful picture of anxiety and
suffering can be drawn, but this is not
the only place where grief has struck
Read the hearts of the parents of the
murdered boy, see the desolation in the
home the murderer's hand has despoiled,
then look Justice in the face and tell her
hat her verdict has been a righteous one.
That Hopt murdered is sad, that Hopt |
must die is only inst

sired as important mat ening at the law office
,nsniro election a--.eeks d Rawlins. Besides
smbers of the committee there
"a dozen or more other Democrats
present, it being generally understood
that all members of the party, who de-
sired to do SO, should participate in the
deliberations of the meeting. 1t was
gratifying to witness the harmony which
prevailed, and TO hear the unanimity Of
expression in favor of the adoption of
such a course as would promote the
success OF the loyal cause at the
ensuing election, by the consolidation of
all of the elements in opposition to the
so-called Peoples party. 1t was the
unanimous opinion that a larger Gentle
vote would be polled by fusion of the
two great National parties, provided it
could be consummated by harmonious
action and upon such fair and equitable
basis as would prove satisfactory to the
members of both organizations. The
only discussion was in regard to the de-
tails of action and other matters pertain
ing to the interest Of the common cause
and the duty of the Democratic party in
connection Herewith. The result of the
deliberation was the unanimous adoption
of the following resolution
RESOLVED, That the Chairman appoint
committee of three to invite the County
Committees of the Republican and Liberal
parties to meet as joint committee, for the
purpose of devising some plan that will
bring about fusion of all political organi-
cations in opposition to the Peoples Party,
at the next election.
If this patriotic and most judicious
movement is met in the spirit which
actuated the Democratic Commit
tee, the result will be consol-
dation OF the entire Gentle vote
of the county, with such success
rs is attainable from the registered
strength Of the opposition to the Mormon
Church. If the Republican and Liberal
Committees act in accordance with the
wishes ot a large majority of those they
represent, they will cheerfuily join in this
movement of the committee of the domi-
nant party of the Nation, and assist in
bringing about such concert of action as
will present to the common enemy a
united front on the day of election We
are confident that they will do So

CLEVELAND AND THE PENSIONS.

The facts regarding the invitation to
President Cleveland to visit St. Louis
during the Grand Army encampment
next fall, which has so excited the ire of
the New York Tribune, General Tuttle
and few "bummers," are these: The
Grand Army of the Republic holds its
next annual encampment at st. Louis
on the last Wednesday of September.
1887; the great fair OF the valley of the
Mississippi begins Monday, October ID.
and the best citizens of st, Louis have
invited many prominent men to be the
guest of their city, among these the
President Of our common country, Grover
Cleveland, his family and suite.
The recent muddle growing out of the
accidental coincidence of these two inn
portant events, appears to be Republi-
